I REALLY messed up!!!

I've been feeling really crazy lately, constantly swinging from anxious to enraged. Being unmedicated is so hard on me. Today I snuck into my fiance's meds. I took 2 vicodins and 2 valiums and 1 codeine and a Lexapro. I'm not trying to commit suicide, i have a VERY high tolerance for pain meds and downers. I thought they'd help me feel better, but they had no effect at all, just made me sweat horribly and break out in an uncomfortable rash. Anyone else ever do something stupid like this? If so, how did you avoid the temptation to take just a few more pills to get some sort of effect?

Hey Candybar, as one speaking from experience, time to see a doc! Call your doc's emergency line or get to an ER hon! Take care of yourself!

Don't hate yourself,don't feel sory for your self.
Go to an ER or call a pharmacy,and tell them what you have done.
Right now your respocebility is to an unborn baby.
Take care of you,take care of your baby.
Call county health,call local hospital,who do you see for prenatal health,call them!

Yea, nothing wrong with admitting your mistakes. We're all human after all. But take responsibility for what you did and seek help like everyone ehre is saying. Words of adive over the internet can only go so far. It's time to take action hun, if not for you then for your kid.

The first step is realizing you messed up... you did that... now you get help. You can be strong; it took strength just to say 'I messed up' so you know that you are strong enough to get help to make things right. I'm proud of you... many people would hide it without trying to right the wrongs.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
